Your support has made a meaningful and visible difference in the lives of our students.\r\nThanks to the two laptops you provided, we've been able to create opportunities for our seniors to explore their futures. These laptops have not only increased access to college applications and the FAFSA process, but they've also sparked motivation among students who had not previously considered higher education. Several seniors, who once thought college was out of reach, have now applied and are discovering new pathways and possibilities.\r\nYour donation of thermal pouches has allowed us to make durable, professional-quality passes for students who need to leave class for essential supports such as meeting with their social worker, accessing the tutor center, or using early dismissal privileges. These passes have helped us maintain structure while ensuring that students get the support they need throughout the day.\r\nAdditionally, the snacks you provided have given our students small but meaningful boosts of energy—just enough to help them refocus, recharge, and keep pushing through their day. For many, that little gesture of care and nourishment goes a long way.\r\nYour generosity reminds our students and staff that they are supported and valued by a community that believes in their potential. We are deeply grateful for your partnership and the impact you continue to make.","fullyFundedDate":1756489678169,"projectUrl":"project/guidance-suite-restock/9513689/","projectTitle":"Guidance Suite Restock","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Soto","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9802297_orig.jpg?crop=1242,1242,x0,y372&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736436099574","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9802297"},{"teacherId":9726109,"projectId":9319519,"letterContent":"The colorful mobile organizers have been a helpful addition as we begin this new school year.

Having a designated space for materials is setting a strong tone for staying organized throughout the year.\r\n\r\nThe donated pencils and snacks were especially valuable during final exams last year. Students were able to focus on their tests without the added stress of not having supplies or feeling hungry, and it truly made those long days more manageable. These resources supported both their preparedness and their confidence during an important time.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, the organizers will continue to support daily lessons and group projects by keeping everything accessible and structured.
